An Unfinished Prediction Arc tells Yuan that a Long Dragon Sage described a Perfect Shot capable of breaking the Gun’s curse. Conditions Without Instructions The right shot, bullet, gun, place, time, and reason are required, but no one can explain the combination. Hope as a Burden The prophecy gives Arc a purpose while also keeping her tied to a task she has failed to complete for years.

A First Attempt A First Attempt from "Gunsoul". A First Attempt Arc’s silver bullet is used against the Gun in the hope of freeing Revolver.

A First Attempt Arc’s silver bullet is used against the Gun in the hope of freeing Revolver. A Real but Incomplete Success The bullet expels the Gun’s influence briefly but does not destroy Revolver’s original core. The Prophecy Stays Open The failure shows that a special projectile alone cannot guarantee the right combination of circumstances.

Arc’s Changing Theory Arc’s Changing Theory from "Gunsoul". Arc’s Changing Theory Arc writes that the Perfect Shot may change depending on which Gunsoul currently bears the Gun.

Arc’s Changing Theory Arc writes that the Perfect Shot may change depending on which Gunsoul currently bears the Gun. A Personal Weapon She suggests that the first revolver Revolver gave Yuan may be the right gun because it binds their lives together.

The Target Within the Game Yuan notices that the Gun’s shadow is present inside the Authority but is not participating in the roulette. A New Meaning for Place The Authority’s rules create a setting where the Gun’s essence can be separated from its host. A Shot Beyond the Old Theory Yuan realizes the proper target is the curse itself, not Revolver’s body or core.

The Cost Makes It Perfect The Cost Makes It Perfect from "Gunsoul". The Cost Makes It Perfect Yuan understands that his own bullet-core must be the final projectile if he is to destroy the Gun.

The Cost Makes It Perfect Yuan understands that his own bullet-core must be the final projectile if he is to destroy the Gun. Right Reason and Right Bullet He chooses to sacrifice his life to protect others rather than retain the strength that the Gun gave him. Prophecy Fulfilled Differently The shot succeeds because Yuan’s willingness to give up power completes the moral conditions that earlier attempts lacked.
